About us
Life after therapy should include the outdoors.
Glamping with a Cause began with a question families kept asking: where can we go?
How it started
Built around what families were asking for
After finishing physical, occupational and speech therapy following a brain injury, many people are left wondering what comes next. Families kept asking for safe outdoor outings or short getaways that could work for someone with physical or behavioral challenges.
Glamping with a Cause was created to answer that: accessible, enjoyable time outdoors that supports healing and connection, for people living with brain injuries and the people who care for them.
Why nature
Time outside does more than pass the time
Research on people living with acquired brain injury links time in nature with real benefits.
Better mood and well-being
Studies point to improvements in mood, well-being and quality of life.
A chance to recharge
People describe nature as restorative: a calmer, lower-pressure setting than everyday life.
Confidence and connection
Getting out together builds motivation and confidence, and supports the wider recovery process.

Where we’re headed
Making a difference now, building toward more
Outings, events and trips
Afternoon walks, garden visits and time by the water, community events like races, and our signature glamping trips. This is where the program is helping people today, close to home and easy to join.
A place of our own
Down the road, we hope to acquire a property in North Georgia, near major hospitals and the Shepherd Center, as a home base for glamping retreats and overnight stays designed around brain injury recovery.
Volunteers make every outing possible
We’re always looking for people who’d enjoy spending time outdoors with participants and their families. Training is available.
